Since end of 2005 I have been helping Ahti Jaan and Priit to build Ambient Sound Investments as private asset management vechicle with sensible strategy focus and team. Given my background I have been focusing on technology investments which is about 10% segment of total ASI portfolio. You will find information about what we have invested to, what are we keen to look at etc at ASI site.
I have done individual investments in the projects that I have liked but for one or another reason have not been suitable for ASI:
- Crushpad provides facilities and services for making your own wines without chateau & Golden Retriever. SF/US/Global. Service is live and growing.
- PoohTech is investing in electronic payment and ticketing businesses in Tallinn/Estonia/Baltic States. Payment service is live in
Latvia as well as Estonian public transport e-ticket system where latter is used by about 50% of Tallinn public transport users.
- Roadside is concept lab stage project in Tallinn whos tricycles are
eco-friendly alternative to passenger cars and public transport for
your 5-10km trips.
- Fraktal builds a simple CMS service that does not suck. Global service, focused on small sites and customers.
- Garena is one of the fastest
growing internet multiplayer gaming communities, emerging from South-East Asia
- SuInfra provides digital work infrastructure for code-producing SMEs: wiki + bug-tracker + sourcecode repository + monitoring + VPN + SSH + user management .., integrated to single sign-on, based on free software.
